Nature-Fix-Happier-Healthier-Creative-ebook

“The Nature Fix is a beautifully written, thoroughly enjoyable exposition of a major principle of human life now supported by evidence in biology, psychology, and medicine.”–Edward O. Wilson

“…an ideal holiday pick…chock-full of insights about the health benefits of spending time in nature. (It turns out that lying on the beach is good for you.)”

–Rohan Silva, Best Holiday Reads 2017, The Guardian

…impassioned and thorough exploration of nature’s impact on our bodies, psyches and creativity…–The Irish Examiner

“Williams…presents all of this with the zip of a trail runner covering a lot of ground sure-footedly. She’s got the pop-sci presentation down pat breezy enough to draw in the lay reader, thorough enough to satisfy the expert.”

–The New York Times Book Review

“Few people would contest that spending time outdoors is good for you, but journalist Florence Williams’ research backs the theory with science. In this book, she uncovers the restorative effect that nature has on us, revealing its power to improve both physical and mental health.”–Country Living

“…fascinating…”

–The Sunday Telegraph

“Williams leaves no stone, boulder or awe-inspiring mountain upturned in seeking scientific validation of her own experience: namely, that nature is good for you…a rousing call-to-arms for our urbanised, connected society to smell the roses while we still can.”

–The Northern Echo
